Muse is displeased with the turn of events in luceti

[shadedsunlight]

Months, mun, months. I won't have proper use of my leg for months because you thought it would be a good idea to throw me at Drusilla. Wonderful.

Don't even start with this is the perfect chance for me to relax and take it easy. You know I get when I can't be active, and see? This is already affecting my ability to sail on the Britannia. Don't think I don't see you smirking over Giles' reaction either.

...Do you think he'd be interested in playing shogi?

Hey. [Amelia's voice is sharp but not unkind as she reaches out to take one of Ginia's hands in hers'.] Hey, hey, hey. Cut it out. I'm not...[And here she sighs, her free hand going to swipe at her eyes] ...look, I'm not saying you shouldn't like it there. I'm just...

...don't ever say we won't miss you, okay? Don't ever fucking say that. I don't give a crap if this place only snatches you away from a second or however the hell it works. That's still a second where you're gone and we're not around to help you. And that sucks.

[And here she gives an embarrassed and awkward little half shrug.] But, hey. What the hell. Kids gotta leave the nest sometime, right?

[shadedsunlight]

I miss you all. I wish you could join me there. [It feels selfish to say with her alive and on the road to her career. It's so very selfish to say, but she wishes they could be there.] I-I have a nightclub, it's just like Solace Hall. Live music every night. And one of my friends runs a clothing shop and makes all her own clothes and takes requests. Her name is Shiki. You'd like her.

A-and you can meet my housemates.

[sizing_you_up]

I probably would. Makes her own clothes and takes request? Hell, I'd be happy to take a bit of the weight off her shoulders. Strictly as partners, though. As long as her work is good, I'd never actually try to muscle in on her territory. Impolite, y'know? Dad did raise me right.

[shadedsunlight]

Dad raised us right. [She laughs softly. There's been times when she's wished Dad would show up. She could show him Cloud Nine, they could work together, it'd be like old times. Easier, nicer times.]

I have a boyfriend too. Well... had a boyfriend. He... he was sent home.

[Amelia begins to look quite shocked at this...and then she frowns thoughtfully, tapping one finger against her lips.] Wait...did you actually mention that already? I think you did. That particular bit of gossip just got shoved right the fuck out of my head when you showed off your goddamn wings. [And here she'll give Ginia a glancing and soft smack upside the head.] Jesus, Ginia, are you trying to make me go gray?

[shadedsunlight]

[Did so? So she did, but Giles is worth repeating twice. The smack really doesn't hurt at all, but Ginia flinches out of instinct. Oh, Amelia, please don't hurt down Giles in the headspace and hurt him.]

I don't think you'll ever go grey. Look at Mom, she's not going grey, and she had to raise the three of us.

[sizing_you_up]

[Too late. Okay, she didn't hurt him. Just backed him into a corner and threatened him. It's nothing Giles isn't used to.]

Yeah, but you were the last of us three. Give it time. I bet it's just a delayed reaction, like a fucking grenade.

...so, c'mon. Spill. Who are you not bringing home to meet the folks by virtue of being off in your own little world?
